Cominform

Cominform, or the Communist Information Bureau, was established in 1947 by the Soviet Union to promote and coordinate communist parties worldwide. It aimed to strengthen ties among communist nations and organizations, guiding them in adopting Soviet-style policies and propaganda. Cominform facilitated the exchange of information and strategies, particularly during the early Cold War, when tensions between the Soviet bloc and Western countries were rising. It dissolved in 1956, following shifts in the political landscape, including the emergence of dissent within the Eastern Bloc, highlighting the complexities within communist governance.
